Abstract base class for reflexive modules.

An \(R\)-module \(M\) is reflexive if the natural map from \(M\) to its double dual \(M^{**}\) is an isomorphism.

In the category of \(R\)-modules, the dual module \(M^*\) is the \(R\)-module of linear functionals \(\phi:\ M \longrightarrow R\). However, we do not make the assumption that the dual module (obtained by dual()) is in the category Homsets.

We identify the double dual \(M^{**}\) with \(M\).

Tensor products of reflexive modules are reflexive. We identify all tensor products of \(k\) copies of \(M\) and \(l\) copies of \(M^*\) and denote it by \(T^{(k,l)}(M)\). The tensor_type() of such a tensor product is the pair \((k, l)\), and \(M\) is called its base_module().

There are three abstract subclasses:

base_module()#

Return the module on which self is constructed.

EXAMPLES:

sage: M = FiniteRankFreeModule(ZZ, 3)
sage: M.base_module() is M
True
sage: M.dual().base_module() is M
True
sage: M.tensor_module(1, 2).base_module() is M
True
dual()#

Return the dual module.

EXAMPLES:

sage: M = FiniteRankFreeModule(ZZ, 3)
sage: M.dual()
Dual of the Rank-3 free module over the Integer Ring
sage: M.dual().dual()
Rank-3 free module over the Integer Ring
sage: M.tensor_module(1, 2)
Free module of type-(1,2) tensors on the Rank-3 free module over the Integer Ring
sage: M.tensor_module(1, 2).dual()
Free module of type-(2,1) tensors on the Rank-3 free module over the Integer Ring
tensor(*args, **kwds)#

Return the tensor product of self and others.

This method is invoked when TensorProductFunctor is applied to parents.

It just delegates to tensor_product().

sage: M20 = M.tensor_module(2, 0); M20

EXAMPLES:

sage: M = FiniteRankFreeModule(QQ, 2)

sage: M.tensor_module(1,2).tensor_power(3)
Free module of type-(3,6) tensors on the 2-dimensional vector space over the Rational Field
tensor_product(*others)#

Return the tensor product of self and others.

EXAMPLES:

sage: M = FiniteRankFreeModule(QQ, 2)
